FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is directed to imidazo[1,2-b][1,2,4]triazines and imidazo[1,2-a]pyrimidines, and pharmaceutical compositions thereof, which are inhibitors of kinases such as c-Met and are useful in the treatment of cancer and other diseases related to the dysregulation of kinase pathways.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Protein kinases (PKs) are a group of enzymes that regulate diverse, important biological processes including cell growth, survival and differentiation, organ formation and morphogenesis, neovascularization, tissue repair and regeneration, among others. Protein kinases exert their physiological functions through catalyzing the phosphorylation of proteins (or substrates) and thereby modulating the cellular activities of the substrates in various biological contexts. In addition to the functions in normal tissues/organs, many protein kinases also play more specialized roles in a host of human diseases including cancer. A subset of protein kinases (also referred to as oncogenic protein kinases), when dysregulated, can cause tumor formation and growth, and further contribute to tumor maintenance and progression (Blume-Jensen P et al, Nature 2001, 411(6835):355-365). Thus far, oncogenic protein kinases represent one of the largest and most attractive groups of protein targets for cancer intervention and drug development.

Protein kinases can be categorized as receptor type and non-receptor type. Receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) have an extracellular portion, a transmembrane domain, and an intracellular portion, while non-receptor tyrosine kinases are entirely intracellular. RTK mediated signal transduction is typically initiated by extracellular interaction with a specific growth factor (ligand), typically followed by receptor dimerization, stimulation of the intrinsic protein tyrosine kinase activity, and receptor transphosphorylation. Binding sites are thereby created for intracellular signal transduction molecules and lead to the formation of complexes with a spectrum of cytoplasmic signaling molecules that facilitate the appropriate cellular response such as cell division, differentiation, metabolic effects, and changes in the extracellular microenvironment

At present, at least nineteen (19) distinct RTK subfamilies have been identified. One RTK subfamily, designated the HER subfamily, includes EGFR, HER2, HER3 and HER4, and bind such ligands as epithelial growth factor (EGF), TGF-α, amphiregulin, HB-EGF, betacellulin and heregulin. A second family of RTKs, designated the insulin subfamily, includes the INS-R, the IGF-1R and the IR-R. A third family, the “PDGF” subfamily, includes the PDGF alpha and beta receptors, CSFIR, c-kit and FLK-II. Another subfamily of RTKs, referred to as the FLK subfamily, encompasses the Kinase insert Domain-Receptor fetal liver kinase-1 (KDR/FLK-1), the fetal liver kinase 4 (FLK-4) and the this-like tyrosine kinase 1 (flt-1). Two other subfamilies of RTKs have been designated as the FGF receptor family (FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3 and FGFR4) and the Met subfamily (c-Met, Ron and Sea). For a detailed discussion of protein kinases, see for example, Blume-Jensen, P. et al., Nature. 2001, 411(6835):355-365, and Manning, G. et al., Science. 2002, 298(5600):1912-1934.

The non-receptor type of tyrosine kinases is also composed of numerous subfamilies, including Src, Btk, Abl, Fak, and Jak. Each of these subfamilies can be further subdivided into multiple members that have been frequently linked to oncogenesis. The Src family, for example, is the largest and includes Src, Fyn, Lck and Fgr among others. For a detailed discussion of these kinases, see Bolen J B. Nonreceptor tyrosine protein kinases. Oncogene. 1993, 8(8):2025-31.

A significant number of tyrosine kinases (both receptor and nonreceptor) are associated with cancer (see Madhusudan S, Ganesan T S. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors in cancer therapy. Clin. Biochem. 2004, 37(7):618-35.). Clinical studies suggest that overexpression or dysregulation of tyrosine kinases may also be of prognostic value. For example, members of the HER family of RTKs have been associated with poor prognosis in breast, colorectal, head and neck and lung cancer. Mutation of c-Kit tyrosine kinase is associated with decreased survival in gastrointestinal stromal tumors. In acute myelogenous leukemia, Flt-3 mutation predicts shorter disease free survival. VEGFR expression, which is important for tumor angiogenesis, is associated with a lower survival rate in lung cancer. Tie-1 kinase expression inversely correlates with survival in gastric cancer. BCR-Abl expression is an important predictor of response in chronic myelogenous leukemia and Src tyrosine kinase is an indicator of poor prognosis in all stages of colorectal cancer.

c-Met, a proto-oncogene, is a member of a distinct subfamily of heterodimeric receptor tyrosine kinases which include Met, Ron, and Sea (Birchmeier, C. et al., Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell Biol. 2003, 4(12):915-925; Christensen, J. G. et al., Cancer Left. 2005, 225(1):1-26). The only high affinity ligand for c-Met is the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), also known as scatter factor (SF). Binding of HGF to c-Met induces activation of the receptor via autophosphorylation resulting in an increase of receptor dependent signaling. Both c-Met and HGF are widely expressed in a variety of organs, but their expression is normally confined to the cells of epithelial and mesenchymal origin, respectively. The biological functions of c-Met (or c-Met signaling pathway) in normal tissues and human malignancies such as cancer have been well documented (Christensen, J. G. et al., Cancer Lett. 2005, 225(1):1-26; Corso, S. et al., Trends in Mol. Med. 2005, 11(6):284-292).

HGF and c-Met are each required for normal mammalian development, and abnormalities reported in both HGF- and c-Met-null mice are consistent with proximity of embryonic expression and epithelial-mesenchymal transition defects during organ morphogenesis (Christensen, J. G. et al., Cancer Lett. 2005, 225(1):1-26). Consistent with these findings, the transduction of signaling and subsequent biological effects of HGF/c-Met pathway have been shown to be important for epithelial-mesenchymal interaction and regulation of cell migration, invasion, cell proliferation and survival, angiogenesis, morphogenesis and organization of three-dimensional tubular structures (e.g. renal tubular cells, gland formation) during development. The specific consequences of c-Met pathway activation in a given cell/tissue are highly context-dependent.

Dysregulated c-Met pathway plays important and sometimes causative (in the case of genetic alterations) roles in tumor formation, growth, maintenance and progression (Birchmeier, C. et al., Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell. Biol. 2003, 4(12):915-925; Boccaccio, C. et al., Nat. Rev. Cancer 2006, 6(8):637-645; Christensen, J. G. et al., Cancer Lett. 2005, 225(1):1-26). HGF and/or c-Met are overexpressed in significant portions of most human cancers, and are often associated with poor clinical outcomes such as more aggressive disease, disease progression, tumor metastasis and shortened patient survival. Further, patients with high levels of HGF/c-Met proteins are more resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. In addition to the abnormal HGF/c-Met expression, c-Met receptor can also be activated in cancer patients through genetic mutations (both germline and somatic) and gene amplification. Although gene amplification and mutations are the most common genetic alterations that have been reported in patients, the receptor can also be activated by deletions, truncations, gene rearrangement, as well as abnormal receptor processing and defective negative regulatory mechanisms.

The various cancers in which c-Met is implicated include, but are not limited to: carcinomas (e.g., bladder, breast, cervical, cholangiocarcinoma, colorectal, esophageal, gastric, head and neck, kidney, liver, lung, nasopharygeal, ovarian, pancreas, prostate, thyroid); musculoskeletal sarcomas (e.g., osteosarcaoma, synovial sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma); soft tissue sarcomas (e.g., MFH/fibrosarcoma, leiomyosarcoma, Kaposi's sarcoma); hematopoietic malignancies (e.g., multiple myeloma, lymphomas, adult T cell leukemia, acute myelogenous leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia); and other neoplasms (e.g., glioblastomas, astrocytomas, melanoma, mesothelioma and Wilm's tumor (www.vai.org/met/; Christensen, J. G. et al., Cancer Lett. 2005, 225(1):1-26).

The notion that the activated c-Met pathway contributes to tumor formation and progression and could be a good target for effective cancer intervention has been further solidified by numerous preclinical studies (Birchmeier, C. et al., Nat. Rev. Mol. Cell Biol. 2003, 4(12):915-925; Christensen, J. G. et al., Cancer Lett. 2005, 225(1):1-26; Corso, S. et al., Trends in Mol. Med. 2005, 11(6):284-292). For example, studies showed that the tpr-met fusion gene, overexpression of c-met and activated c-met mutations all caused oncogenic transformation of various model cell lines and resulted in tumor formation and metastasis in mice. More importantly, significant anti-tumor (sometimes tumor regression) and anti-metastasis activities have been demonstrated in vitro and in vivo with agents that specifically impair and/or block HGF/c-Met signaling. Those agents include anti-HGF and anti-c-Met antibodies, HGF peptide antagonists, decoy c-Met receptor, c-Met peptide antagonists, dominant negative c-Met mutations, c-Met specific antisense oligonucleotides and ribozymes, and selective small molecule c-Met kinase inhibitors (Christensen, J. G. et al., Cancer Lett. 2005, 225(1):1-26).

In addition to the established role in cancer, abnormal HGF/c-Met signaling is also implicated in atherosclerosis, lung fibrosis, renal fibrosis and regeneration, liver diseases, allergic disorders, inflammatory and autoimmune disorders, cerebrovascular diseases, cardiovascular diseases, conditions associated with organ transplantation (Ma, H. et al., Atherosclerosis. 2002, 164(1):79-87; Crestani, B. et al., Lab. Invest. 2002, 82(8):1015-1022; Sequra-Flores, A. A. et al., Rev. Gastroenterol. Mex. 2004, 69(4)243-250; Morishita, R. et al., Curr. Gene Ther. 2004, 4(2)199-206; Morishita, R. et al., Endocr. J. 2002, 49(3)273-284; Liu, Y., Curr. Opin. Nephrol. Hypertens. 2002, 11(1):23-30; Matsumoto, K. et al., Kidney Int. 2001, 59(6):2023-2038; Balkovetz, D. F. et al., Int. Rev. Cytol. 1999, 186:225-250; Miyazawa, T. et al., J. Cereb. Blood Flow Metab. 1998, 18(4)345-348; Koch, A. E. et al., Arthritis Rheum. 1996, 39(9):1566-1575; Futamatsu, H. et al., Circ. Res. 2005, 96(8)823-830; Eguchi, S. et al., Clin. Transplant. 1999, 13(6)536-544).

Despite the important/causative roles that the c-Met pathway plays in the above described human diseases including cancer, there are no c-Met inhibitors or antagonists that are currently available for treating these human disorders that associate with abnormal HGF/c-Met signaling. Therefore, there is a clear unmet medical need to develop new compounds as inhibitors of c-Met and other kinases. The compounds, compositions, and pharmaceutical methods provided herein help meet this need.

For example, product formation can be monitored by spectroscopic means, such as nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (e.g., ¹H or ¹³C) infrared spectroscopy, spectrophotometry (e.g., UV-visible), or mass spectrometry, or by chromatography such as high performance liquid chromatograpy (HPLC) or thin layer chromatography.

Preparation of compounds can involve the protection and deprotection of various chemical groups. The need for protection and deprotection, and the selection of appropriate protecting groups can be readily determined by one skilled in the art. The chemistry of protecting groups can be found, for example, in Greene, et al., Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, 2d. Ed., Wiley & Sons, 1991, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

The reactions of the processes described herein can be carried out in suitable solvents which can be readily selected by one of skill in the art of organic synthesis. Suitable solvents can be substantially nonreactive with the starting materials (reactants), the intermediates, or products at the temperatures at which the reactions are carried out, i.e., temperatures which can range from the solvent's freezing temperature to the solvent's boiling temperature. A given reaction can be carried out in one solvent or a mixture of more than one solvent. Depending on the particular reaction step, suitable solvents for a particular reaction step can be selected.

Resolution of racemic mixtures of compounds can be carried out by any of numerous methods known in the art. An example method includes fractional recrystallization using a “chiral resolving acid” which is an optically active, salt-forming organic acid. Suitable resolving agents for fractional recrystallization methods are, for example, optically active acids, such as the D and L forms of tartaric acid, diacetyltartaric acid, dibenzoyltartaric acid, mandelic acid, malic acid, lactic acid or the various optically active camphorsulfonic acids. Resolution of racemic mixtures can also be carried out by elution on a column packed with an optically active resolving agent (e.g., dinitrobenzoylphenylglycine). Suitable elution solvent composition can be determined by one skilled in the art.

The compounds of the invention can be prepared, for example, using the reaction pathways and techniques as described below.

A series of imidazo[1,2-b][1,2,4]triazine derivatives of formula 10 can be prepared by the methods outlined in Scheme 1. Alkylations of ester 1 with haloalkyl (R⁴X or R⁵X, X═Cl, Br, I) using a suitable base such as, but not limit to, NaH, lithium diisopropylamine (LDA), sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (NaHMDS), or lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (LiHMDS) can give the corresponding ester 2 which can be hydrolyzed to the acid 3 with alkaline solution such as lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, or potassium hydroxide. Coupling of the acid 3 with N,O-dimethylamine hydrochloride in the presence of benzotriazol-1-yloxytris-(dimethylamino)-phosphonium hexafluorophosphate (BOP), or N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N′-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDCI), or N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyl-O-(7-azabenzotriazol-1-yl)uronium hexafluorophosphate (HATU), or O-(benzotriazol-1-yl)-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethyluronium hexafluorophosphate (HBTU), or N,N′-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) can produce the amide 4 which is reduced to the aldehyde 5 by lithium tetrahydroaluminate (LAH). Wittig's reaction of the aldehyde 5 with (methoxymethyl)(triphenyl)phosphonium bromide and a suitable base such as NaH, lithium sodium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (NaHMDS), or lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide (LiHMDS) can give a methoxyethene derivative 6 which can be converted to the aldehyde 7 by treatment with aqueous HCl solution.

The 2-aminotriazine 9 can be prepared by the method outlined in Scheme 2. Semicarbazide 13 can be prepared by reaction of the semicarbazide hydrochloride with oxo-acetal 12 which, in turn, can be obtained from oxo-acetaldehyde 11 by treatment with triethylformate. Intramolecular ring closure of 13 can afford the triazinone 14 which can be converted to the corresponding chloride 15 by reflux with POCl₃ in an inert solvent such as chloroform, 1,2-dichloroethane, or toluene in the presence of a catalytic amount of dimethylformamide (DMF). Replacement of the chlorine in 15 with ammonia can yield 2-aminotriazine 9 which can be converted to 10 by reaction with the chloride 8.

Alternatively, the triazinone 14 can be prepared according to the procedure outlined in Scheme 3. The oxo-acetaldehyde 11 can be transformed to the corresponding oxo-oxime 16. Reaction of 16 with semicarbazide can give the compound 17. Hydrolysis of the oxime in 17 followed by intramolecular ring closure can afford compound 14.

Further alternatively, compound 14 can be prepared according to the procedure outlined in Scheme 4. The acid ester 18 can be converted to alpha-halo ketone 20 by treatment with dimethylsulfoxonium methylide, generated by refluxing of trimethylsulfoxonium chloride with potassium tert-butoxide in THF, followed by a cleavage reaction with anhydrous hydrogen chloride at about 65° C. N-alkylation of α-halo ketone 20 with the sodium salt of 2,4-thiazolidinedione can produce the N-substituted 2,4-thiazolidinedione 22 which can be converted to dihydrotriazinone 23. Oxidation of 23 with suitable oxidants such sodium 3-nitrobenzenesulfonate or tert-butylhypochlorite or DDQ can yield the triazinone 14.

In a similar manner, the triazine 3 can be prepared by the methods outline in Scheme 5.

Reflux of the ketone 27 with thiosemicarbazide in an inert solvent such as ethanol or toluene in the presence of an acid such as 4-toluenesulfonic acid can afford the compound 28. Alkylation of compound 28 with methyl iodide in the presence of a suitable base such as cesium carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate or sodium hydroxide can give triazine 29 which can be transformed to the compound 9. The triazine 3 can be prepared from 9 as previously described.

A series of triazine derivatives of formula 47 can be prepared according to the procedures outlined in Scheme 7. Treatment of the acid 36 with thiosemicarbazide in the presence of base such as sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, or the like can give the compound 37 which can convert to compound 38 by alkylation with methyl iodide. Triazinone 39 can be obtained from 38 by replacement with hydrazine followed by reaction with the chloride 8. Compound 39 can be transformed to the corresponding chloride 40 by treatment with POCl₃ or SOCl₂. Reaction of 40 with an appropriate amine can afford the triazine derivative 41.

A series of triazine derivatives of formula 45 can be prepared according to the procedures outlined in Scheme 8. Suzuki coupling of bromopyrimidine 43 with an arylboronic acid ArB(OH)₂ can give 2-aminotriazine 44 which can react with chloro-aldehyde 8 to provide the triazine derivative 35

The 2-aminotriazine 44 can be prepared by the method outlined in Scheme 9. The 2-aminopyrimidine 44 can be obtained by heating a mixture of an enaminaldehyde 46 with guanine hydrochloride. Alternatively, Suzuki coupling of aminopyrimidinyl boronic acid 47 with aromatic halide Cy²—X (Cy² is an aromatic moiety and X═Cl, Br, I) provides the 2-aminopyrimidine 44.

A series of cycloalkylcarboxylic acids formula 51 can be prepared by the method outlined in Scheme 10. Mono-alkylation of alpha-substituted methyl 48 with an alkylenedihalide such as ethylene dibromide, 1,3-dibromopropane, and 1,4-dibromobutane can provide mono-alkylated product 49, followed by treatment with either 1) sodium hydride in dimethylsuloxide (DMSO) or DMF or 2) lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) in THF can provide the cycloalkylcarboxylic acid esters 50. Hydrolysis of 50 in presence of base such as lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, or the like can give the corresponding acid 51.

Alternatively, a series of cycloalkylcarboxylic acids of formula 51 can be prepared from the corresponding nitrile 52 as shown in Scheme 12. Alpha-substituted acetonitrile 52 can be treated with potassium hydroxide and alkylenedihalides such as ethylene dibromide, 1,3-dibromopropane, 1,4-dibromobutane, and the like to provide substituted cycloalkylcarbonitriles 53, which can be followed by hydrolysis to afford the desired cycloalkylcarboxylic acid 51.

Pharmaceutical Formulations and Dosage Forms

When employed as pharmaceuticals, the compounds of the invention can be administered in the form of pharmaceutical compositions which is a combination of a compound of the invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. These compositions can be prepared in a manner well known in the pharmaceutical art, and can be administered by a variety of routes, depending upon whether local or systemic treatment is desired and upon the area to be treated. Administration may be topical (including ophthalmic and to mucous membranes including intranasal, vaginal and rectal delivery), pulmonary (e.g., by inhalation or insufflation of powders or aerosols, including by nebulizer; intratracheal, intranasal, epidermal and transdermal), ocular, oral or parenteral. Methods for ocular delivery can include topical administration (eye drops), subconjunctival, periocular or intravitreal injection or introduction by balloon catheter or ophthalmic inserts surgically placed in the conjunctival sac. Parenteral administration includes intravenous, intraarterial, subcutaneous, intraperitoneal or intramuscular injection or infusion; or intracranial, e.g., intrathecal or intraventricular, administration. Parenteral administration can be in the form of a single bolus dose, or may be, for example, by a continuous perfusion pump. Pharmaceutical compositions and formulations for topical administration may include transdermal patches, ointments, lotions, creams, gels, drops, suppositories, sprays, liquids and powders. Conventional pharmaceutical carriers, aqueous, powder or oily bases, thickeners and the like may be necessary or desirable.

This invention also includes pharmaceutical compositions which contain, as the active ingredient, one or more of the compounds of the invention above in combination with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable carriers. In making the compositions of the invention, the active ingredient is typically mixed with an excipient, diluted by an excipient or enclosed within such a carrier in the form of, for example, a capsule, sachet, paper, or other container. When the excipient serves as a diluent, it can be a solid, semi-solid, or liquid material, which acts as a vehicle, carrier or medium for the active ingredient. Thus, the compositions can be in the form of tablets, pills, powders, lozenges, sachets, cachets, elixirs, suspensions, emulsions, solutions, syrups, aerosols (as a solid or in a liquid medium), ointments containing, for example, up to 10% by weight of the active compound, soft and hard gelatin capsules, suppositories, sterile injectable solutions, and sterile packaged powders.

In preparing a formulation, the active compound can be milled to provide the appropriate particle size prior to combining with the other ingredients. If the active compound is substantially insoluble, it can be milled to a particle size of less than 200 mesh. If the active compound is substantially water soluble, the particle size can be adjusted by milling to provide a substantially uniform distribution in the formulation, e.g. about 40 mesh.

Some examples of suitable excipients include lactose, dextrose, sucrose, sorbitol, mannitol, starches, gum acacia, calcium phosphate, alginates, tragacanth, gelatin, calcium silicate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, cellulose, water, syrup, and methyl cellulose. The formulations can additionally include: lubricating agents such as talc, magnesium stearate, and mineral oil; wetting agents; emulsifying and suspending agents; preserving agents such as methyl- and propylhydroxy-benzoates; sweetening agents; and flavoring agents. The compositions of the invention can be formulated so as to provide quick, sustained or delayed release of the active ingredient after administration to the patient by employing procedures known in the art.

The compositions can be formulated in a unit dosage form, each dosage containing from about 5 to about 100 mg, more usually about 10 to about 30 mg, of the active ingredient. The term “unit dosage forms” refers to physically discrete units suitable as unitary dosages for human subjects and other mammals, each unit containing a predetermined quantity of active material calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect, in association with a suitable pharmaceutical excipient.

The active compound can be effective over a wide dosage range and is generally administered in a pharmaceutically effective amount. It will be understood, however, that the amount of the compound actually administered will usually be determined by a physician, according to the relevant circumstances, including the condition to be treated, the chosen route of administration, the actual compound administered, the age, weight, and response of the individual patient, the severity of the patient's symptoms, and the like.

For preparing solid compositions such as tablets, the principal active ingredient is mixed with a pharmaceutical excipient to form a solid preformulation composition containing a homogeneous mixture of a compound of the present invention. When referring to these preformulation compositions as homogeneous, the active ingredient is typically dispersed evenly throughout the composition so that the composition can be readily subdivided into equally effective unit dosage forms such as tablets, pills and capsules. This solid preformulation is then subdivided into unit dosage forms of the type described above containing from, for example, 0.1 to about 500 mg of the active ingredient of the present invention.

The tablets or pills of the present invention can be coated or otherwise compounded to provide a dosage form affording the advantage of prolonged action. For example, the tablet or pill can comprise an inner dosage and an outer dosage component, the latter being in the form of an envelope over the former. The two components can be separated by an enteric layer which serves to resist disintegration in the stomach and permit the inner component to pass intact into the duodenum or to be delayed in release. A variety of materials can be used for such enteric layers or coatings, such materials including a number of polymeric acids and mixtures of polymeric acids with such materials as shellac, cetyl alcohol, and cellulose acetate.

The liquid forms in which the compounds and compositions of the present invention can be incorporated for administration orally or by injection include aqueous solutions, suitably flavored syrups, aqueous or oil suspensions, and flavored emulsions with edible oils such as cottonseed oil, sesame oil, coconut oil, or peanut oil, as well as elixirs and similar pharmaceutical vehicles.

Compositions for inhalation or insufflation include solutions and suspensions in pharmaceutically acceptable, aqueous or organic solvents, or mixtures thereof, and powders. The liquid or solid compositions may contain suitable pharmaceutically acceptable excipients as described supra. In some embodiments, the compositions are administered by the oral or nasal respiratory route for local or systemic effect. Compositions in can be nebulized by use of inert gases. Nebulized solutions may be breathed directly from the nebulizing device or the nebulizing device can be attached to a face masks tent, or intermittent positive pressure breathing machine. Solution, suspension, or powder compositions can be administered orally or nasally from devices which deliver the formulation in an appropriate manner.

The amount of compound or composition administered to a patient will vary depending upon what is being administered, the purpose of the administration, such as prophylaxis or therapy, the state of the patient, the manner of administration, and the like. In therapeutic applications, compositions can be administered to a patient already suffering from a disease in an amount sufficient to cure or at least partially arrest the symptoms of the disease and its complications. Effective doses will depend on the disease condition being treated as well as by the judgment of the attending clinician depending upon factors such as the severity of the disease, the age, weight and general condition of the patient, and the like.

The compositions administered to a patient can be in the form of pharmaceutical compositions described above. These compositions can be sterilized by conventional sterilization techniques, or may be sterile filtered. Aqueous solutions can be packaged for use as is, or lyophilized, the lyophilized preparation being combined with a sterile aqueous carrier prior to administration. The pH of the compound preparations typically will be between 3 and 11, more preferably from 5 to 9 and most preferably from 7 to 8. It will be understood that use of certain of the foregoing excipients, carriers, or stabilizers will result in the formation of pharmaceutical salts.

The therapeutic dosage of the compounds of the present invention can vary according to, for example, the particular use for which the treatment is made, the manner of administration of the compound, the health and condition of the patient, and the judgment of the prescribing physician. The proportion or concentration of a compound of the invention in a pharmaceutical composition can vary depending upon a number of factors including dosage, chemical characteristics (e.g., hydrophobicity), and the route of administration. For example, the compounds of the invention can be provided in an aqueous physiological buffer solution containing about 0.1 to about 10% w/v of the compound for parenteral administration. Some typical dose ranges are from about 1 μg/kg to about 1 g/kg of body weight per day. In some embodiments, the dose range is from about 0.01 mg/kg to about 100 mg/kg of body weight per day. The dosage is likely to depend on such variables as the type and extent of progression of the disease or disorder, the overall health status of the particular patient, the relative biological efficacy of the compound selected, formulation of the excipient, and its route of administration. Effective doses can be extrapolated from dose-response curves derived from in vitro or animal model test systems.

The compounds of the invention can also be formulated in combination with one or more additional active ingredients which can include any pharmaceutical agent such as anti-viral agents, vaccines, antibodies, immune enhancers, immune suppressants, anti-inflammatory agents and the like.

Labeled Compounds and Assay Methods

Another aspect of the present invention relates to fluorescent dye, spin label, heavy metal or radio-labeled compounds of the invention that would be useful not only in imaging but also in assays, both in vitro and in vivo, for localizing and quantitating the protein kinase target in tissue samples, including human, and for identifying kinase ligands by inhibition binding of a labeled compound. Accordingly, the present invention includes kinase enzyme assays that contain such labeled compounds.

The present invention further includes isotopically-labeled compounds of the compounds of the invention. An “isotopically” or “radio-labeled” compound is a compound of the invention where one or more atoms are replaced or substituted by an atom having an atomic mass or mass number different from the atomic mass or mass number typically found in nature (i.e., naturally occurring). Suitable radionuclides that may be incorporated in compounds of the present invention include but are not limited to ²H (also written as D for deuterium), ³H (also written as T for tritium) ¹¹C, ¹³C, ¹⁴C, ¹³N, ¹⁵O, ¹⁷O, ¹⁸O, ¹⁸F, ³⁵S, ³⁶Cl, ⁸²Br, ⁷⁵Br, ⁷⁶Br, ⁷⁷Br, ¹²³I, ¹²⁴I, ¹²⁵I and ¹³¹I. The radionuclide that is incorporated in the instant radio-labeled compounds will depend on the specific application of that radio-labeled compound. For example, for in vitro IDO enzyme labeling and competition assays, compounds that incorporate ³H, ¹⁴C, ⁸²Br, ¹²⁵I, ¹³¹I, ³⁵S or will generally be most useful. For radio-imaging applications ¹¹C, ¹⁸F, ¹²⁵I, ¹²³I, ¹²⁴I, ¹³¹I, ⁷⁵Br, ⁷⁶Br or ⁷⁷Br will generally be most useful.

It is understood that a “radio-labeled ” or “labeled compound” is a compound that has incorporated at least one radionuclide. In some embodiments the radionuclide is selected from the group consisting of ³H, ¹⁴C, ¹²⁵I, ³⁵S and ⁸²Br.

Synthetic methods for incorporating radio-isotopes into organic compounds are applicable to compounds of the invention and are well known in the art.

A radio-labeled compound of the invention can be used in a screening assay to identify/evaluate compounds. In general terms, a newly synthesized or identified compound (i.e., test compound) can be evaluated for its ability to reduce binding of the radio-labeled compound of the invention to the enzyme.

In Vitro c-Met Kinase Enzyme Assays

Compounds were screened in vitro for their ability to inhibit c-Met kinase activity. The IC₅₀ values of compounds for the inhibition of c-Met kinase were determined as described in the literature with some modifications (Wang, X. et al, Mol. Cancer Ther. 2003, 2(11):1085-1092; Calic, M. et al., Croatica Chemical ACTA. 2005, 78(3):367-374). Briefly, histidine-tagged c-Met catalytic domain fusion protein (Invitrogen, #PV3143) was used for the assay. IC₅₀ measurements were based on the degree of phosphorylation of poly Glu-Tyr (Sigma-Aldrich, #P0275) that was coated (0.01 mg/per well) on 96-well microplates (R&D systems, #DY990). The reaction was carried out in a 50 μL solution containing 50 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 10 mM MnCl₂, 10 mM MgCl₂, 0.5 mM DTT, 100 μM Na₃VO₄, 5 μM ATP (Cell Signaling Technology, #9804) and serial dilutions of individual compounds. The reaction lasted for 25 minutes at 30° C. After the reaction was completed, the contents of the plates was discarded. Plates were then washed with TBS-T (250 μL/well, 5×) and then blocked with TBS-T containing 1% BSA for 2 hours. The contents of the plates was discarded, and 100 μL (per well) of peroxidase-labeled anti-phospho-tyrosine antibody (Sigma, #A5964) diluted (1:60,000) in 1% BSA containing TBS-T were then added and incubated for 1 hour. Plates were washed with TBS-T (250 mL/well, 5×) and followed by the color reaction using 100 μL (1:1 mixture) of H₂O₂ and tetramethylbenzidine (R&D Systems, #DY999). The reaction was stopped in minutes with 100 μL of 2 N H₂SO₄. The optical density was measured immediately using a microplate reader at 450 nm with wavelength correction at 540 nm. IC₅₀ values were calculated with the GraphPad Prism software. The linear range (i.e., the time period over which the rate remained equivalent to the initial rate) was determined for the kinase and IC₅₀ determinations were performed within this range.

Cells are grown in appropriate culture media and treated with various concentrations of individual compounds. For SNU-5, HT-29, 786-0 cells, cells are grown in appropriated media supplemented with 0.2% or 2% FBS and treated with compounds for 3-4 hours. Whole cell protein extracts are prepared using reagents and a protocol (#FNN0011) obtained from Biosource International with slight modifications. Briefly, protein extracts are made by incubation in lysis buffer with protease and phosphatase inhibitors [50 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 100 mM NaCl, 1.5 mM MgCl₂, 10% Glycerol, 1% Triton X-100, 1 mM sodium orthovanadate, 1 mM sodium fluoride, aprotinin (2 μg/mL), leupeptin (2 μg/mL), pepstatin A (2 μg/mL), and phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (1 mM)] at 4° C. Protein extracts are cleared of cellular debris by centrifugation at 14,000×g for 20 minutes. For A549, H441, U-87 and PC-3 cells, cells are serum (0.2% FBS) starved for at least 24 hours, then pretreated with various concentrations of compounds for 1 hour. Whole cell extracts are prepared after the cells were treated with HGF (50 ng/mL) for 10 minutes.

Immunoblotting Analysis

Relevant antibodies are obtained from commercial sources: rabbit polyclonal antibodies included anti-human c-Met (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, #sc-161) and anti-phosphorylated-c-Met (Biosource International, pY1230/4/5 and pY1003). For immunoblotting, 10-20 μg of protein extracts from individual treatment conditions are resolved by electrophoresis on 10% SDS-PAGE gel, and electrotransferred to a nitrocellulose (or PVDF) membrane. The membrane is blocked in PBS containing 3% milk and 0.1% Tween-20 for 1 hour, and then incubated with primary anti-c-Met antibodies in blocking solution for 1 hour. After 3 washes, the membrane is incubated with appropriate horseradish-conjugated secondary antibodies for 1 hour. After final wash, the blot is incubated with chemiluminescence detection reagent for 5 minutes and exposed to X-ray film. The images are scanned, quantified and corrected with total c-Met, and IC₅₀ values are calculated. Compounds having an IC₅₀ of 10 μM or less are considered active.

ELISA

Cell protein extracts are analyzed using a human phospho-c-Met ELISA kit according to the manufacturer's instructions (R&D Systems, #DYC2480). Optimal amounts of protein extracts are predetermined for individual cell lines. Briefly, for the assay, appropriate amounts of protein extracts are captured with a capture anti-human c-Met antibody for 2 hours in a 96 well microplate. After washes, a detection antibody (HRP-conjugated anti-phospho-tyrosine antibody) is added and incubated for 2 hours. After additional washes, 100 μL of substrate solution (1:1 mixture of H₂O₂ and tetramethylbenzidine) are added into each well and the reaction is stopped with 2 N H₂SO₄ within an appropriate amount of time during color development. The optical density is measured in the linear range using a microplate reader at 450 nm with wavelength correction at 540 nm. IC₅₀ values are calculated with the GraphPad Prism software. Compounds having an IC₅₀ of 10 μM or less are considered active.
